FC Porto: Alan Varela injury update.
The FC Porto football club has announced that their star player, Alan Varela, is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
Varela, who plays as a midfielder for the Portuguese giants, was injured in a match against Benfica on November 14th and has been ruled out indefinitely.
The news comes as a major blow to FC Porto's chances of winning the league title this season, as Varela has been one of the team's key players throughout the campaign.
However, the club has not yet announced any replacements for Varela, meaning that the team will have to find someone else to fill his position in midfield.
It remains to be seen how long Varela will be out for, but it is likely that he will miss at least the next few matches before returning to action.
In the meantime, FC Porto will need to rely on other players to step up and take on more responsibility in midfield. It will also be important for the team to keep their focus on the task ahead, and continue to work hard towards securing the league title they so desperately want.
Overall, it is clear that the loss of Varela will be a big blow to FC Porto, but the team will have to adapt and continue to perform well if they hope to secure their place in the top flight.
